splunk sdk : com.splunk.HttpException: HTTP 401 -- call not properly authenticated

I am trying to search the string from splunk , i was getting 401 error. StringBuilder searchString = new StringBuilder();

    searchString.append("search").append(" XXX");

Service service = Service.connect(splunkArgs); Job job = service.getJobs().create(searchString.toString());

HTTP 401 – {“messages”:[{“type”:“WARN”,“text”:“call not properly authenticated”}]}

We are seeing this error intermittently. From what I can tell, it happens after the request is submitted to the server. I even suspect the query itself is being executed. I suspect this because our Splunk team is reporting more concurrent sessions for our user than is possible for us.

Is it possible the error messes is incorrect? I ask this because we get this once in a while from a process that is running and submits the request in the same way every time.

I was getting the same error. I have fixed this problem by upgrading splunk-sdk-java library from 1.3.2 to 1.6.5 (latest one). Now it’s working fine.
